Description Anne 2013-06-21 07:29:05 UTC 
Per Document image requests are pooled. If the same URL ends up in this pool it is directly retrieved from disc. No HTTP cache semantics are coming in between. I am told this is a pretty hard compatibility constraint.

1. Fetch does not have concept of a per-Document request pool.

2. We should investigate whether to do this only for images or for all requests.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-06-21 14:57:51 UTC 
This is implemented as the "list of available images" in HTML.
Comment 2 Anne 2013-06-25 12:36:06 UTC 
CSS and SVG would have to make use of that too then, but I suppose that could work if we do not introduce a "fetch group" concept of sorts for Document objects.
Comment 3 Anne 2014-05-01 12:53:51 UTC 
Seems better for a higher layer to handle this.
